Kershaw Ken Onion Blur Black Assisted Folding Knife

Introducing the Kershaw Blur, a knife that has stood the test of time and remains a staple in any serious collection. This original model showcases what made the Blur famous: a robust, slightly recurved blade designed for versatility. Whether slicing through tough materials or piercing with precision, this knife delivers outstanding performance.

The heart of this tool is its high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade. Known for its excellent corrosion resistance and hardness, it ensures durability and reliability under various conditions. The black variant features a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating on the blade, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and protective qualities against wear.

In keeping with its no-nonsense design philosophy, the Kershaw Blur sports handles crafted from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum—often referred to as aircraft aluminum due to its widespread use in aviation applications. This material provides an ideal balance between lightweight handling and structural integrity. Complementing these attributes are Trac-Tec grip-tape inserts embedded into the handle to guarantee an unwavering grip even in challenging environments.

The ingenuity doesn't stop there; ease of access is paramount with SpeedSafe® assisted opening technology integrated into this knife's design. A simple push on the thumbstud initiates swift deployment via an internal torsion bar mechanism—ensuring rapid readiness when you need it most.

To accommodate different carrying preferences, Kershaw includes a reversible pocket clip allowing for either tip-up or tip-down carry options along with a pre-drilled lanyard hole offering additional convenience.
